bitful

The other day when I wrote about getting a new job, I also mentioned that I spent a long time and a lot of effort to prepare for the interview.

I knew I had to compensate for a lack of experience in certain business techniques with very clear views and strong ideas on how to approach specific processes.

I searched, bookmarked, read, summarised and revised a lot of material. Here are some articles I found particularly useful (in no particular order):

• Podcast 24: Selecting a content management system
• opensourceCMS.com
• The Importance of Social Media
• Digital Natives, Digital Immigrants (PDF)
• Guardian column: Open-source BBC
• On Wattson and Electrisave…
• TV Networks Need to Wake Up Before Video Boom Leaves Them With Dead Air
• Agile, Multidisciplinary Teamwork
• Bespoke vs Off-the-shelf Software
• Structured Content
• Project Management - Overview
• Stakeholder Analysis
• Software requirements specification
• How to Write a Requirements Specification
• Influencing / Persuading

And to top it all off, I swore by the jobseeker's bible that a co-worker recommended to me: Perfect Answers to Interview Questions.

Phew. Now I can go back to playing Bejewelled2 on my mobile phone while listening to The Best of Girls Aloud during my daily commute.
